    Episodes from a Hudson River Town Peak of the Catskills, Ulster County’S 4,200-Foot Slide Mountain, May Have Poked up out of the Frozen Terrain

    1 Prehistoric Times Our Landscape and First People The countryside along the Hudson River and throughout Greene County always has been a lure for settlers and speculators. Newcomers and longtime residents find the waterway, its tributaries, the Catskills, and our hills and valleys a primary reason for living and enjoying life here. New Baltimore and its surroundings were formed and massaged by the dynamic forces of nature, the result of ongoing geologic events over millions of years.1 The most prominent geographic features in the region came into being during what geologists called the Paleozoic era, nearly 550 million years ago. It was a time when continents collided and parted, causing upheavals that pushed vast land masses into hills and mountains and complementing lowlands. The Kalkberg, the spiny ridge running through New Baltimore, is named for one of the rock layers formed in ancient times. Immense seas covered much of New York and served as collect- ing pools for sediments that consolidated into today’s rock formations. The only animals around were simple forms of jellyfish, sponges, and arthropods with their characteristic jointed legs and exoskeletons, like grasshoppers and beetles. The next integral formation event happened 1.6 million years ago during the Pleistocene epoch when the Laurentide ice mass developed in Canada. This continental glacier grew unyieldingly, expanding south- ward and retreating several times, radically altering the landscape time and again as it traveled. Greene County was buried. Only the highest 5 © 2011 State University of New York Press, Albany 6 / Episodes from a Hudson River Town peak of the Catskills, Ulster County’s 4,200-foot Slide Mountain, may have poked up out of the frozen terrain.

    Digital One’S Response to the Ofcom Consultation “Future Pricing of Spectrum Used for Terrestrial Broadcasting”

    Digital One’s Response to the Ofcom Consultation “Future pricing of spectrum used for terrestrial broadcasting” 1. Digital One operates the UK’s only national commercial DAB digital radio multiplex. Its shareholders are GCap Media (63%) and Arqiva (37%). Digital One’s transmission network (which is operated by Arqiva) is the world’s biggest DAB digital radio network with coverage well in excess of 85% of the British population. Digital One’s multiplex broadcasts: - the three INRs (Classic FM, Virgin Radio and talkSPORT); - four digital-only national stations (Capital Life, Core, Oneword and Planet Rock) with a further station being launched in the next few months; - TV channels and an Electronic Programme Guide broadcast as part of BT Movio. Digital One is a leading stakeholder in the UK’s Digital Radio Development Bureau and the WorldDAB Forum (which is responsible for the DAB digital radio standard and works to coordinate the international roll-out of Eureka 147 based technologies). 2. Digital One is licensed under the 1996 Broadcasting Act, and has licence obligations which help deliver public policy benefits. These limit Digital One’s ability to use the spectrum it has been allocated in the most efficient manner (in economic terms). For example: - the obligation to operate a transmitter network which delivers high population coverage; - the obligation (at the direction of the Secretary of State for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport) to carry the three INRs and to offer each INR an amount of capacity dictated by the regulator;

As the English-speaking population grew, so did a desire for services in English, primarily driven by members of the Church of England, the official church of the Province. The city‘s population, decimated following its destruction in 1690, was about 300 households in 1759 when land for an English chapel was purchased.1 Ground was broken the same year for a building originally planned as a chapel for all English speaking peoples,2 and Presbyterians and other ―dissenters‖ (non-Anglican Protestants) participated in both land and material acquisition. Construction began in 1762. As for the Presbyterians, while the actual date of organization is unknown, the best current approximation is 1760. Friction developed early on between the two competing English groups. A 1765 letter from the Schenectady Anglican churchwardens to Sir William Johnson sought his acceptance as a trustee and his support for a petition before the Governor to grant the congregation a ―Charter to Secure their Rights and privileges in the Church built here‖ in order to ―prevent for the future the presbyterians from making any unjust attempts on the priviledges in the Church.‖3 –Continued on Page 4 John C.
